Abstract
System and method for managing a user interface for a foldable device are disclosed. The method includes: determining a folding state of the foldable device based on a folding angle of the foldable device; detecting an input gesture on one or more touch-sensitive display segments of a flexible display screen of a foldable device; determining a gesture type corresponding to the detected input gesture; determining whether the detected input gesture is a valid gesture or invalid gesture; and responsive to determining that the detected input gesture is a valid gesture, providing the gesture type corresponding to the detected gesture, the folding state of the foldable device, and display information to a software application or an operating system of the foldable device.
